Zino Platinum Scepter Series exceeded all my very high expectations. This '91'-rated cigar is incredibly smooth, creamy, buttery, and produces billowing clouds of smoke. While that was all exceptionally satisfying, the piquant notes of coffee, cocoa, and nuts really ran the show. However, simply telling you about this gem doesn't do it justice, try it!

As the Maduro take on Caldwell's Eastern Standard line, Midnight Express delivers the medium to full-bodied experience we expect. At first take, the cold draw provides sweet aromas with notes of cocoa and cedar, but once lit, this premium exudes saltiness, zest, and a spicy, smoky oak flavor on the finish. This is an essential!

As one the only cigars that utilizes Italian-grown long-filler tobaccos, CAO Italia delivers a truly unique experience. The Habano Maduro wrapper shimmers in the light, while also displaying a damp, oily texture. Upon ignition, this medium-bodied beauty burns like a dream, providing thick, creamy smoke. Italia is a profoundly quintessential, yet distinctive CAO experience.

Cedrus easily takes the throne as Southern Draw's most distinct cigar blend. Beneath its Indonesian wrapper is a gorgeous medley of aromatic tobaccos which impart complex notes from start to finish. A considerable amount of spice complements notes of cocoa, espresso, and a sweet, fruity finish that is simply divine. Cigars like Cedrus never disappoint!

Connecticut, with its seamless Ecuador Connecticut wrapper and smooth, earthy sweetness. Paired with your favorite whiskey or bourbon, this cigar optimizes relaxation.

Valkyrie presents itself brilliantly upon ignition, offering smooth, divine notes of coffee and cedar. however, beyond the creamy flavors and effortless draw of this mellow cigar exists a peppery spice so vehement it may surprise you upon arrival. Although, considering the mastermind behind this cigar's creation, all of this comes naturally with his creative talent.

Cohiba Connecticut is the quintessential day on the green cigar. This lusciously smooth and creamy combination of Brazilian, Nicaraguan, and Dominican tobaccos is perfect from the inside-out. I was hit gracefully with notes of cocoa, spice, and an inviting hint of dried fruit. Cohiba Connecticut makes you sit back and reminisce on good times.

The Victor Sinclair Serie '55' Imperial Connecticut is an outstanding mellow to medium-bodied cigar. Displaying some unrivaled consistency, the Toro size burns well every time and provides an effortless draw. The blend balances cream and spice brilliantly, making it the perfect stogie for a day on the golf course. This is vintage Victor Sinclair.

Macanudo is one of he best brands in the world when it comes to combining fine tobaccos to create unforgettable flavors. Inspirado White is no exception to this notion, as it combines a perfect golden Connecticut Shade wrapper with Mexican and Nicaraguan fillers. Creamy coffee notes with spice in the finish, a truly beautiful blend!

La Gran Llave Connecticut is one of the greatest mellow cigars to date. Crafted in AJ Fernandez's Nicaraguan factory, this beauty oozes class. The Nicaraguan long-fillers offer notes of coffee, hazelnut, and cashews, creating an irresistible aroma. You will not forget the silky-smooth smoke this cigar presents, and the relaxing break from reality it celebrates.
